Hurricane-Related Damage and Issues

- Pipe Collapse: A pipe collapsed near the intersection of Grossenbacher Drive and Lake Avenue. This was a pipe break not a sinkhole. City crews are working to fix the pipe.

- Traffic Light Outages: The majority of the City-maintained traffic lights are back up and running.  However, if you see a traffic light out, please report it to our non-emergency line at 407-703-1757.  In the meantime, if a traffic light is out, please treat the intersection as a four-way stop.

Thank you for your patience, as our crews work diligently to return City operations to normal. Continue to visit our Hurricane Preparedness page for resources, updates, safety tips, and additional City information.

Survey Now Open: Share Your Opinions on Rock Springs Road & West Orange Trail Extension Recommendations

Here’s your final chance to share your opinions on recommendations for the future of the Rock Springs Road area and extensions to the West Orange Trail.

Take the survey by October 20, 2022 at bit.ly/RSRWOTSurvey3 (please note: this URL is case sensitive).

On Sept. 22, a hybrid public meeting was held to unveil the recommendations for:

- Rock Springs Road & Welch Road intersection
- Rock Springs Road from Welch Road to Lester Road
- Sandpiper Street & Park Avenue
- Extensions to the West Orange Trail along Rock Springs Road, Welch Road, and Ponkan Road.

About 100 people participated in person and virtually to learn about the recommendations and ask questions of the study team during the live meeting.

WHAT’S NEXT?

If you missed the meeting, you can view the videos of recommendations, as well as the full meeting recording on the MetroPlan Orlando YouTube channel.

After reviewing the information, please take the survey by Thursday, October 20, 2022.
We’re nearing the completion of the Rock Springs Road and West Orange Trail Extension Studies. The study began in spring of 2021 and will conclude at the end of 2022.
